Orange Crumb and Cream Terrine Dessert

Orange Crumb and Cream Terrine Dessert

Ingredients:

• For the Orange Crumb:
  • 1 cup crushed orange-flavored cookies (like orange Milano cookies)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
• For the Cream Base:
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons gelatin, dissolved in 3 tablespoons warm water

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cream Base:

• In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
• Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and dissolved gelatin until well mixed.
• Pour the mixture into a semi-circular mold or a similar shaped dish that has been lightly greased with some butter or non-stick spray. Refrigerate until it starts to set, about 1 hour.

2. Make the Orange Crumb:

• In a bowl, mix the crushed cookies with melted butter until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
• Once the cream base has started to firm up, gently sprinkle the orange crumb mixture over the top, pressing lightly to ensure it sticks.

3. Chill:

• Return the dessert to the refrigerator and let it set completely, ideally overnight.

4. Serve:

• To serve, carefully invert the dish onto a serving plate. If the terrine doesn’t release easily, briefly dip the outside of the mold in warm water.
• Slice with a warm, sharp knife and serve immediately.

This dessert combines the zesty flavor of orange with the lush smoothness of cream, making it a delightful end to any meal.
